Teach Your Children

[napman]

As for your last rock band, "The Thanks", I can't really recall it. But, again, my knowledge of Thai rock bands was quite limited. I was only in 8th or 9th grade in 1972. The rock bands that I knew back then were the ones that I heard on radio or saw on TV such as V.I.P., The Fox, and Kaleidoscope.

I do remember James Gang's Thanks though. I kinda imagine that your band played Funk #49 and then you just Walk(ed) Away and left for USA. Just kidding

BTW, I followed the link to your youtube channel and listened to your acoustic rendition of Nantucket Sleigh Ride. Really love it. For Yasgur's Farm, next?

Hi again Chad,

It's getting interesting to me here

First I thought I was going to "chat" with you at your "PM", but then I thought I don't have any secret or any personal msg just for you, so I'll put them here and just make believe that we are sitting in a circle and exchanging or reminiscing our long-gone past to each other.

I do know those "VIP", "The fox" and particulary "Kaleidoscope" quite well. And our "Thanks" was existed only 2-3 years before we went on our separated ways. We were 5 of us and now 2 of us passed on to their "Old home", one of us is nowhere to be found. The only one left on music scene in Thailand is "Jod" (Krit Chokthippatana). I myself got stranded at California and took deeper root over there

I'm glad that you're Pov's old friend. Povation is the person I highly respected and I remember he called me directly from Thailand (I think he wanted to check me out if I was for real). And "Sarun" the other well-respected member here was the main instrumental that helped me find few of my long-lost old friends and particularly "Tom Kalei" who was Kaleidoscope's bass player and my closed friend when we played together at the same nightclub (The Impossible cafe) taking turn with "The Impossible" in late 60s to early 70s before I left for USA. And actually we played "Funk #49" and "Walk away" too If my brain serve me correctly I think Ter (Rewat Buddhinan sang the former and Jod sang the later)

Thanks for your "Nantucket S. R." comment, I'm really surprise that ANY Thai knows this song! And I'm willing to bet not too many Thai knows "Mountain"

And guess what? We (The Thanks) also played " For Yasgur's farm" It was sung by Ter, but he's no longer around and I'm very tempting to do this one for me in the near future (I'm quite busy hosting my brother-in-law who came over From Chiang Mai to visit us for 6 weeks and will be join by other brother-in-law from Chicago in a few days plus our lady friend from Chiang Mai, so not much time left for recording/uploading at YT for me at the moment). Just wait and see OK?

I'll finishing if off here, it's getting embarrass to keep talking about myself and the ancient history but what do you expect from an old man anyway, right????
